Been waiting for this game for months. Going down to the Joe with my pop the biggest Leafs fan I've ever seen. Go Wings !!!

[WizardOfOz30]

LOVE the old time hockey picture.

Should be a good game with lots of energy. Wings will get the win from a good full game of play.

[GSBrooks13]

I can handle losing to Vancouver.. and even to Pittsburgh.. But there is nothing I hate worse then the onslaught of ridiculous Leafs fans who will immediately swarm my facebook wall to proclaim that Toronto is better than Detroit..

Let's Go Wings!

[WingZNut13]

Great picture there HT!!

Should be a great game. Games between these two always is. High energy, some great plays, and great original 6 Hockey!

LET'S GO WINGS!

[Bring Back The Bruise Bros]

I might actually get to tune in and watch this one!

LGW!

[nate94gt]

the DRW keys to winning tonights game:

1: Darren Helm plays 60 minutes
2: ??????
3: Profit

Two interviews from Mike Babcock and Mike Modano from a local Toronto radio station.

Amazing GDT, HT. Thank you so much! The only thing I didn't like is our injury list. Again. Wings need to show up and make Jimmy feel like it's worth dressing for this game.

Here's hoping they can trounce the Loafs. Go, Wings!!

[Aussie_Wing]

I hope Mursak plays, as I've got this feeling he will score if he's in tonight.

GO WINGS!

[nate94gt]

I hope Mursak plays, as I've got this feeling he will score if he's in tonight.

GO WINGS!

i like the kid. seems like a more offensively skilled draper/helm.

cant wait to see him more in the next 2 years.

[Z and D for the C]

I'm in favor of winning this one.

This game will also be on the NHL network for those away from Detroit.

[Esquire]

Leafs - 4
Wings - 2

I'll be in downtown Toronto when this s***icane hits too. Leafs have everything to play for and the Wings will get my optimism back when they show they're deserving of it. All that aside...

GO WINGS GO!!!

Too bad I don't get NHL Network here in North Carolina.




Happy Turtle Day! Let's win.

I don't know why I have to quote my own post for my image to come up, but there you have it.

Thanks for the GDT, Hockeytown.

Wings, please end the embarrassment.

[wingfan1991]

better win tonight AND more importantly show red/white support be LOUDER than the Leafs fans!!!

[Jenny]

All right lads, time to put on a good show for your fans!

Wings 4, Leafs 1. Let's say... 2 goals from Cleary, 1 from Z, and 1 from Lidstrom.
